Geez, didn't know that Christine's amazing performance would be met with such utter ignorance.
It's artistic, for crying out loud. I'm particularly angry at the person who called Christine a "lady" (in quotes-meaning-she's no lady). I've met this classy actress and let me just say she doesn't walk around talking like her characters. She does have children, for pete's sake. I can't believe the vehemence with which she has been critiqued on this website. Hardly anyone posted anything in her defense. She is a lady in the truest sense of the word-she was the only person to come out the stage door to meet fans one time when I saw GG. She gives everyone an autograph who wants one and is polite, unpretentious, and completely deserving of every accolade she has received. (She is amazing in this show and better win the Tony.)
For middle America or those offended by her use of GD-get over it, people. It was "pretend". I hear far worse on the streets and in music and other TV programming-including prime time, when kids do watch.
And don't take it out on the brilliant Christine Ebersole.
